Cotton Receipts.
es.Democrat.l

The cotton season is nearly at an
end and we can see the sources
of New Orleans receipts this year,
and compare them with previous
ones. The first thing that strikes
one in glanciDg at the figures on
this point is the large increase in
rail over river receipts.
We have received by river, this
year, 3S1,550 bales of cotton, as
compared with 593,4O5 last year.
On the other hand, the railroads
increased their business from l,
162,739 to 1,500,323 bales. The
greatest improvement has been in
the Texas roads, the Texas and
Pacific having grown from 204,126
to 315,724 bales, and the Southern
Pacific from 129,416 to 1SS,5S1.
The Mississippi Valley now leads
all the cotton roads here, followed
by the Texas and Pacific, Illinois
Central, Southern Pacific, North.
eastern, and Louisville and Nash.

We were glad to see on the oc-
casion of the last visit to Vicks-
burg OF Mr.. r. I. Wilson, that his
attention was directed by certain
citizens there to the value Of q
direct connection between our
branch and the main line at Roll.
ing Fork or Redwood, so as to
give us through facilities south as
well as north. The Herald OF
April LIST reports him as saying
that he was not aware of any par
ticular desire on the part of the
people living along the Lake
Washington branch for the exten.
sion mentioned, but that if it were
so and they were willing to assist
towards its being built, it would
be ordered to be put under con-
struotion.
Have the rest of our branch
neighbors considered we'll the val
ue this extension or connection
south would be to themf For the
one item of facilities In procuring
labor to gather crops, it is worth
urging on to construction, let
alone the convenience in travel
personally and the saving of time.
We have discussed this with
some of our nelghbors but we
write to attract further attention
to, and to elicit views of people
along the branch OH the subject
to see if they are serious or will

Death Of Ons Of Rssanstrustion's Central
Figures.
fTimes-Democrat.l

llMec-OcmOCfdl.
The death of ex,Judge Darrell in
New York some days ago, recalls
the darkest era in the history of
Louisiana. In the whole history
of the South during the recon
struction, nothing equals DurelPs
infamous midnight order, by which
he overturned a State govern
ment. A petty Federal Judge on
a mere interlocutory order seized
the State House with Federal
troops, ousted the officials and
barricaded the building and street
and refused entrance to anyone
without his pass. Once started
on this course of usurpation,
Durell carried through the con-
spiracy to the bitter end and is.
sued his orders right and left, dis
persing the Legislature, turning
the Governor and State officials
out of office, and completely up
roofing and overturning the State
government of Louisiana.
The secret history OF the mid
night order will never be known,
for the conspirators who cen.
ceived it have kept silent and are
likely to keep silent about it. 1t
is SAID that Durell was drunk at
the time, and the signature SEEM
ed to indicate the truth Of this
charge. This is the most char.
liable view that could be taken
of his action, unparalleled in
American judicial history. The
midnight order was denounced by
the press and people throughout
the country, regardless of politics.
When Congress met in 1874, the
House prepared to impeach Du.
rell, even the Republican mem.
bers repudiated his action, his con.
viction seemed inevitable when he
saved himself from the disgrace,
as Belknap did, by resigning.
The crime he had committed was
never righted, and while even the
Republicans denounced his act in
overturniag a State government
with bayonets, they refused to
undo it.
| Soon after his resignation, Du.
rell left Louisiana, earring with him
an odium he richly deserved, for
the outrage he had committed on
popular liberty, and the disasters
he had brought on the people OF
LOUISIANA by the four years of Rad
ical misrule.

New Orleans Cotton Men.
The Issue Joined with the Tyranny Of Labor
Organisations.

The following joint resolution
was adopted by the cotton factors
and cotton buyers of New Orleans
Whereas, the experience of six
years has demonstrated that bust,
ness can no longer be properly
conducted as the Cotton Labor
Unions of this city are now orga-
nized and
Whereas, our business is con-
stantly interrupted, and is liable
to interruption at any time, we
having practically no control over
our employees; and
Whereas, our business is now
virtually suspended in conse.
quence Of a controversy which we
did not originate and in which We
have no part; therefore be 1t
Resolved by the cotton factors
and buyers Of New Orleans, That
we pledge ourselves to discharge
the weighers, classers and Others
employed by us unless they shall
at once resign from any or all or.

In seconding Mr.. Glenny's mo.
tion for the Endorsement of the
preamble and resolutions Of the
factors and buyers, Mr.. w. O..
Flower said he sincerely hoped
this position would be sustained,
and receive the hearty moral sup
port of the members of the Ex.
change. The present lockout of
business was the result of diff.
ference between the laborlng men
themselves; it was disastrous to
the business of the past and no
alternative was left to business
men but such action as the factors
and buyers had taken.
The indorsing resolution was
adopted by a resounding AYE"
Two distinct "noes" were uttered
but beyond this there was not o

Buffalo Bill's Goodbye.
Indians, Buffalo and Cowboys Crowd the
Steamer Nebraska.

Buffalo BilPs Wild West show
sailed for England yesterday
morning ON the steamship Stat,
of Nebraska, which had been char

on board the big vessel before she
started from the foot of Leroy
street was as gay as a KIralfy bal

with the tall figures of Indians
who. clad in all their fnery, seem

going to happen, and when.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walking Buffalo

Buffalo Bill, in his orthodox cos

handsome sword had been sent TO
him by some of his military friends.
The cowboys, riders, shooters and
Mexicans gave no trouble at all.
They scattered themselves over
the ship with their friends and
talked and laughed in high enjoy

good spirits; Miss George Duffy,

Conservatism the Best.

The country may feel o reason

will not bring. to business any gen.
eral shock. Disputed provisions
in the act will be talked over and
smoothed away. The friction will
be reduced to the lowest point
possible. 1t is quite possible that
this method of enforcing the law
will produce better results than a
more radical Interpretation. The
act IS an experiment. We know
that some such expression of the
right of the people to control cor
porations should be made, but we
do not know that we have hit upon
the best system of conditions that
can be devised. A year or two of
trial will show its weak places. A

Benefits Of Tile Drainage.

The following are some of the
advantages of tile drainage as
enumerated By the Louisiana Su.
gar Bowl and Farm Journal:
1t secures the drainage of the
soil. Open bitches do so but in
part, readily freeing only the sur.
face from water.
1t deepsns the surface soil, per.
mitting roots to penetrate to the
depth at which the tiles are laid.
1t insures against tho i'll effects
of even very severe droughts with
the same certainty as against
those of flooding rains.
1t permits of cultivation at
times when, after moderate rains,
the best of surface drainage would

1t permits of cultivation one to
three days sooner than the most
perfect surface drainage possible
after flooding rains.
1t raises the average soil tenn.

CHURCH AND STATE.

The grandeur of the American
system Of government was most
forcibly and particularly set forth
by Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop
of Baltimore, when, in his recent
address he said:
"For myself, rs a citizen Of the
United States, and without closing
my eyes to our shortcomings as a
nation, | say, with a deep sense OF
pride and gratitude, that / belong
to . country whose civil govern.
ment holds over us the Hgis of its
protection without interfering
with us in the legitimate exercise
Of our sublime mission az minis.
ters Of The Gospel Of Christ. Our
country has liberty without Ii
cense and authority without des.
potism. She rears no wall to ex.
clude the stranger from among us.
She has few frowning Notifications
to repel the invader, for she is at
peace with all the world. She
rests secure in the consciousness
Of her strength and her good will
toward all. Her harbors are open
to welcome the honest emigrant
who comes to advance his tempo
raj interests aud find a peaceful
home. But while we are acknowl.
edged to have a free government,
perhaps we do not receive the
credit that belongs to us for hsv.
ing also a strong government.
Yes, our nation is strong, and her
strength lies under the overruling
guidance of Providence In the ma
jesty and sumpremacy of law, in
the loyalty of her citizens and in
the affection Of her people for her
free institutions. There are, in.
deed, grave social problems now
engaging the earnest attention of
the citizens of the United States,
but / have no doubt that with
Gods blessing these problems
will be solved by the calm judg-
ment and sound sense of the
American people, without vio-
lence or revolution, or any injury
to individual rights"

The queerest thing in Boston is the
recent sale Of church without the tower.
which latter is retained by the man who
became the buyer under mortgage
The reason Is that this man thought
that those who bought the church did
not have sufficient esthetic taste to pre-
vent them tearing down the tower
Hence he keeps for himself about
twenty square feet of land On which
the tower is built and deeds al the rest
